Expressions of Interest are being sought for a suitable site in Bargo and surrounds to build a new ambulance station as part of the NSW Government’s $615.5 million NSW Ambulance Infrastructure Program.
The NSW Government is delivering 30 additional ambulance stations and more than 2,500 additional staff across the state as part of its commitment to boost frontline emergency care for communities.
As part of this program, Health Infrastructure is working with NSW Ambulance and other key stakeholders across government to identify a potential site in Bargo for an additional ambulance station and prioritise delivery.
This includes conducting a thorough land search to identify potential locations in Bargo and surrounds that best meet the needs of the community for ambulance operations.
To progress this planning, an Expressions of Interest process for land will be undertaken at 10 locations including Bargo.
Locations for new stations are determined by NSW Ambulance following a comprehensive service planning process using best practice modelling software which maps Triple Zero calls.
The exact locations of the new stations will be confirmed once the land search and acquisition process is finalised. Construction and operational timeframes will be determined as the project planning progresses.
